Figure 1 Two-step metabolic activation of clopidogrel. Bioavailability of the pro-drug is determined by intestinal absorption, which might belimited by the efflux pump MDR1 (encoded by ABCB1). Subsequently, 85% of the pro-drug is converted into inactive metabolites by ubiquitousesterases. The remaining 15% is converted into a thiol-containing active metabolite through two-step oxidations that involve several cyto-chrome P450 enzymes. The first oxidative step is catalysed by CYP2C19, CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 isoenzymes, producing the intermediate 2-oxo-clopidogrel. The second step is mediated by CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9 and yield the bioactive metabolite, the cis-thiol isomerwhich irreversibly binds to platelet P2Y12 receptors inhibits ADP-induced platelet activation.

Summary and clinical implications
Several mechanisms may explain why co-administration of PPIs
